Science In your Way - Rain 


Liquid water in the form of droplets is called Rain.  


Water has three forms.
Ice (solid), 
Water (liquid),
Water vapour (gas).

Water on earth is in the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes and air. When the earth gets warm, the water turns  into water vapour. This is called evaporation. High up in the sky the air is much cooler. When the water vapour rises and reaches the cool air it turns into tiny drops of water. It forms clouds. When water vapour changes to water we say that condensation has taken place.

The Water Cycle:


Clouds form, winds blow the clouds, rain falls, the sun heat the earth, evaporation takes place , water vapour condenses to form clouds...... and the cycle continues. Evaporation condensation take place all the time.
